As she appeared on the TV show “Danse Avec Les Stars” on Saturday 31st October, Sia is back up three places to spend a second week at the top of the French singles chart with “Chandelier” in her 23rd week inside the top 10 (+53% – 6,595 sales / Streaming Chart : 6). It’s an amazing feat as “Chandelier”‘s first week at Number One was during the week ending 6th July ! So this 16-week gap is the longest between two separate runs at Number One in the 30-year-old history of the French singles chart ! Sia‘s “Chandelier” beats the 7-week gap of PSY‘s “Gangnam Style” in November and December 2012.

After 15 non-consecutive weeks at Number One, “Prayer In C (Robin Schulz Remix)” moves down to two for Lilly Wood & The Prick And Robin Schulz in its 18th week inside the ten best-sellers (-11% – 5,500 sales / SC : 2).

Three acts own two songs inside the top ten, and Maître Gims is the third one. At nine, “J’Me Tire” spent four weeks at Number One in March and April (161,000 sales), and you can find “Bella” at number ten (159,000 sales).

2013 was another great year for Rihanna, “Stay” (featuring Mikky Ekko) is at eleven (139,000 sales), and her chart-topper from 2012 “Diamonds” is at 19 (116,000). Another song from 2012 is inside the top 20, at 12 with Adele‘s “Skyfall” (135,000 sales).

It was not a very successful year for both acts in the albums chart, but “Scream & Shout” is the 13th best-selling song in 2013 for will.i.am featuring Britney Spears (135,000 sales), the song was Number One for one week in January. At number 14, you can find a song which refused to die : Asaf Avidan & The Mojos‘ “One Day / Reckoning Song” spent its first week in the top 10 in September 2012 and was still there in March ! Its peak position (number two) was only reached in February.

The 2012 X Factor UK winner James Arthur is at a very good number 15 with “Impossible” (128,000 sales). The first 2013 chart-topper, PSY‘s “Gangnam Style” is at 16.
